M2Sorry I can't send you pictures but I hope your old BBC shows the celebration and you don't miss out..over 2 thousand people of all ages mostly under 50s and early 30s and 20s , some remainers too (lib dems and labour) who are happy for Brexit it happens and it's all over. Great atmosphere.

htTps://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/01/31/brexit-destiny-21st-century-watershed-philosophical-choice-far/#commentJE Heath31 Jan 2020 2:14PMThe EU executive,the illustrious European Commission , will continue to churn out ridiculous directiveswhich the sychophantic EU parliament will continue to rubber stamp. The Brussels bureaucrats are obliged to create more and more rules and red tape to justify their existence.Peter Scott31 Jan 2020 3:27PM"As Britain embarks on the next 50 years, should it cling to Europe's Cartesian, top-down system, or return to Anglo-Saxon free-thinking?"Surely the question answers itself.Anglo-Saxon free-thinking is not only and obviously a better thing intrinsically; it has a huge c.v. of success to show from the 16th through 20th centuries.If our past way of running an economy has worked and works, and others' doesn't, why be subsumed to the others???Robert Groves31 Jan 2020 1:52PMInteresting what you say about the Napoleonic code.  Therein lies the difference between Anglosphere and the French influenced EU.  The French are much more prescriptive about ... well everything.  On the plus side, you can see it as maintaining standards, a ratcheting effect where you can only go higher, but on the other hand, it is a closed shop of vested interests.  Take for example the Michelin guide.  On the one hand, it raises and keeps standards, but on the other, only if your standards are French cooking.  The EU is thinking much the same way, they think their standards are the objective standards - it never can foresee excellence in other ways.  In this sense, it is the EU that is cutting itself off as an island from the rest of the world not the UK.

The English, the English, the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest

The rottenest bits of these islands of ours
We've left in the hands of three unfriendly powers
Examine the Irishman, Welshman or Scot
You'll find he's a stinker, as likely as not

The Scotsman is mean, as we're all well aware
And bony and blotchy and covered with hair
He eats salty porridge, he works all the day
And he hasn't got bishops to show him the way!

The Irishman now our contempt is beneath
He sleeps in his boots and he lies in his teeth
He blows up policemen, or so I have heard
And blames it on Cromwell and William the Third!

The English are noble, the English are nice
And worth any other at double the price

The Welshman's dishonest, he cheats when he can
And little and dark, more like monkey than man
He works underground with a lamp in his hat
And he sings far too loud, far too often, and flat!

And crossing the Channel, one cannot say much
For the French or the Spanish, the Danish or Dutch
The Germans are German, the Russians are red
And the Greeks and Italians eat garlic in bed!

The English are moral, the English are good
And clever and modest and misunderstood

And all the world over, each nation's the same
They've simply no notion of playing the game
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

The English, the English, the English are best
So up with the English and down with the rest!

It's not that they're wicked, or naturally bad
It's knowing they're foreign that makes them so mad!

jackio… "By the way Minnie, can I remind you of a few moons ago when I posted that Lloyds would be 75p by Xmas and they were!!!"

Can you be a little more specific as to when that was?
How many moons ago .... 1500 ish?

She has been put back in the political box. Wasn't clever like Boris

[maxk] 31/1/2020 20:55

A switch for sure ...

[minerve 2] 31/1/2020 20:53

Nothing wrong with Nicola. A switched on politician. Too much for Boris to handle.
